The “Must See” tour that everyone visiting Toronto should take!

Take a journey through over 300 years of Toronto history, seeing how this city went from a small muddy frontier fort to becoming the cultural and financial capital of Canada.

Walk in the footsteps of First Nation trading paths, Bay Street bankers, and the heart of the downtown quarter as you gaze up at the CN Tower. End the tour at the world famous St. Lawrence Market in time for lunch, grab a peameal bacon sandwich, and learn why Toronto got the nickname “Hogtown.”
